Drafted by the Yankees, traded for Jonathan Albaladejo, then turned into a closer level reliever.
Then reacquire him 10 years later, only to in the next year allow him to pitch 36 innings of truly awful pitching before realizing they might be better off releasing him.
So to summarize:
Traded away an eventually valuable reliever for what turned out to be nothing, then reacquire him only to break him and have his worst year in baseball.
